Vice President Joe Biden speaks about the Cancer Moonshot initiative at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute Wednesday afternoon.

Over 150 politicians, students, cancer research activists and interested individuals gathered at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in a replica U.S. Senate chamber Wednesday afternoon to hear Vice President Joe Biden give an address about the Cancer Moonshot Initiative.

The Cancer Moonshot, which was first announced this past January during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, is a national initiative led by the vice president to accelerate progress in cancer research and treatment. The aim is to double the rate at which cancer research and innovation is developed, according to a press release from the event.

The event was delayed over an hour because Biden was coming from another speaking event in New York. While a few attendees waited for Biden to arrive, they said they were anxious to hear the vice president CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Before the debate viewing at BU Central, Wezi-Anne McCarthy (CAS ‘18) writes the question, “This election matters because…” on BU Central’s chalkboard to elicit responses from other student attendees. McCarthy spoke about the importance of young people voting in order to impact later generations.

Twenty days before Election Day, students and residents from the Greater Boston gathered at various debate viewing parties, laughing, cheering and booing as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump faced each other on live national television for the third and final time.

While Clinton struggled to defend the Clinton Foundation, Trump’s performance was nowhere near perfect, analysts said, especially after he refused to say whether he will accept the results of the election.

So who was the winner of the debate? Did the final debate change voters’ minds? And what is the takeaway from this unique presidential election? Reporters from The Daily Free Press interviewed students and residents at four debate viewing parties on campus and in the city — Trident Booksellers and Café, WBUR, 10 Buick St. and BU Central — to see what they had to say.

Holocaust and Genocide Studies minor launched

CRIME LOGS

BY HALEY FRITZ DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

The Boston University Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies expanded its curriculum this semester to include a Holocaust and Genocide Studies minor.

The minor “combines historical background with multidisciplinary exploration of the Holocaust and other genocides through film, literature, law, philosophy, political science, international relations, and religious studies,” according to the official proposal submitted last November.

Nancy Harrowitz, a professor of Italian and Jewish studies, proposed the program with her colleague, Simon Payaslian. Harrowitz said the process of establishing the minor began two years ago with a conversation between her and Michael Grodin, a health law, ethics and human rights professor in the School of Public Health.

“We decided to go forward starting this minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies because it’s such a timely topic still today,” Harrowitz said. “The frequency of genocide after the Holocaust is really quite alarming, and we felt that it was a good moment to bring together a lot of different faculty strengths in different disciplines and different areas.”

The minor arrives at an appropriate time, as renowned Holocaust survivor and BU Professor Emeritus Elie Wiesel passed away in July. Harrowitz said she believes the minor will honor Wiesel’s legacy at BU. “[Wiesel] was so very passionate about social justice, about fighting against prejudice, that this kind of program I think would have pleased him a great deal,” Harrowitz said.

BU is launching a new Holocaust and Genocide Studies minor through the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies.

Students pursuing a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies must complete six courses, including two core courses and four electives, according to department’s website.

Harrowitz said BU is one of only a few universities to offer the minor. Eventually, the hope is to see the addition of a major in the field, which would make BU only the second university in the nation to offer an undergraduate degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, behind Keene State College, Harrowitz said.

Two students have already declared minors in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and Harrowitz said she hopes more students will follow in their footsteps.

“This program is specifically about the question of how the worst possible social conditions can arise, and what can be done to eliminate and rectify them,” Cudd said. “We must not … believe that as a species we have evolved to a point where genocide cannot happen again.”

Several students said they supported the decision to add the minor — Lily Booker, a junior in CAS, said she previously considered a Jewish Studies minor, but decided not to pursue it. She may now consider a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Booker said.

“People are very open to talking about the Holocaust, but … I don’t think a lot of people necessarily know a lot about all the genocides that have occurred, unless they are a history major or have taken interest in looking more into the world,” Booker said.

Thomas Wong, a freshman in CAS, said he applauded the university’s decision to expand its curriculum because “history repeats itself, so it’s important to study why things like [genocide] happen and whether things like this will happen in the future,” he said.

Gabrielle McCann, a senior in CAS, said that while many people know about the Holocaust in general, few understand its deeper implications.

“We know some stuff about it, but not as much as we probably should,” McCann said. “And if you don’t learn about it, if you don’t study about it, what’s to say it won’t happen again?”

Ballot Questions 101 : Raising cap on charter schools in Mass.

BY TILL KAESLIN DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

Massachusetts Ballot Question 2, if passed, would lift the cap on the number of charter schools in the Commonwealth, authorizing the state board of education to approve the establishment of up to 12 new charter schools per year as well as the expansion of existing schools, according to Attorney General Maura Healey’s office.

Great Schools Massachusetts, the organization leading the support for Question 2, is a coalition of parents, stakeholders and people in the education community in support of Question 2, according to spokesperson Eileen O’Connor.

O’Connor explained that charter schools can help urban communities that are presently at an educational disadvantage. “[Charter schools] have proven they can close the achievement gap,” O’Connor said.

“They have longer school days, longer school years and are producing incredible academic outcomes for their children, particularly in our urban communities where children are desperate for an alternative to their failing schools.”

Katarina Rusinas, the digital director for Save Our Public Schools, a grassroots campaign organized in opposition of Question 2, disagrees with this claim, stating that the current charter school system discriminates

against certain students.

“It’s hurting our most in need students,” Rusinas said. “Oftentimes kids of color or kids with disabilities are getting pushed out of charter schools and pushed back to public schools who then don’t have the resources and the funding to help them in the way that they need.”

Rusinas also said funding is an issue for public schools, and that the ballot measure would have a negative financial impact on public schools in the state.

“Charter schools currently take about 450 million [dollars] a year from our public schools and if the cap was lifted, it’s estimated to be an extra 100 million a year,” Rusinas said. “In six years, that turns into a billion dollars and our public schools just cannot afford that.”

However, according to O’Connor, there is mounting evidence that the growth of charter schools in Massachusetts would help public schools financially.

“Charter schools have actually resulted in more funding for public education,” O’Connor said. “They have had the impact of increasing per-pupil spending across the Commonwealth, so the notion that charter schools drain districts of funding is simply not true.”

Additionally, there are measures in place to soften the legislation’s impact on public schools, according to O’Connor. For instance, a funding arrangement would reimburse districts over a period of six years after they’ve

This is the second in a four-part series exploring the Massachusetts Ballot Questions, which will be voted on this November.

Students, residents watch debate at various viewing parties across Boston “NPR crowd” watches debate at WBUR

BY SOPHIE WILL DAILY FREE PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

The radio station WBUR held a presidential debate viewing party Wednesday night, with discussions held before and after with WBUR political journalists Anthony Brooks and Ken Rudin. A crowd of 60 viewers sat and stood in a room in WBUR’s main headquarters, and many seemed to be in support of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Amy MacDonald, the viewing’s organizer, said although not all attendees were necessarily Clinton supporters, they were evidently against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

“This is an NPR crowd,” MacDonald said. “Even if they’re not for Clinton, everyone has a visceral feeling of anti-Trump.”

One of the viewers in attendance, Jeremy Morrison, 33, of Somerville, said he applauds Clinton’s performance during the debate, despite its imperfections.

“This was the debate where [Trump] said the crazy things, and she [had] grace, class and dignity,” he said. “However, she did say things that were not helpful at all, and every chance that he had to say something

substantial, he chose to turn it into a joke.

And it is upsetting and worrying.”

MacDonald, in response to the crowd gathered at WBUR, said the turnout was better than initially expected.

“We were thinking of doing something on election night, but that wouldn’t quite work out, so we thought of doing a debate instead,” said McDonald, who is also WBUR’s director of community engagement. “Usually, our events are a bit earlier, but we thought it was important to have the … political experts here tonight as well.”

Throughout the debate, attendees reacted varyingly toward candidates’ responses.

Attendees did not show much reaction toward Clinton’s responses. Meanwhile, many attendees jeered and laughed at Trump’s remarks.

Megan McHugh, 32, of Somerville, said Clinton’s skill in debating outmatched Trump’s remarks. McHugh said she appreciated Clinton’s ability to formulate coherent responses, compared to her opponent.

“I feel tremendous gratitude towards Hillary Clinton particularly for dealing with Donald Trump’s dizzying incoherence with such composure and such focus and such substance,” she said.

Students watch and discuss debate at StuVi

BY TAYLOR KOCHER DAILY FREE PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

For Dino Christenson and Douglas Kriner, debate viewing parties are a long-time tradition.

Ever since President Barack Obama’s first election, the two Boston University political sciences professors have hosted viewing parties for almost every political event, including the first two debates in this election cycle, Kriner said.

On Wednesday night, approximately 20 students attended the viewing party for the third and final debate at 10 Buick St., exceeding the two professor’s expectation. “[The debate] drives maybe at best a kind of a silver lining of all of this craziness, that it leads a lot of people who may not be politically interested otherwise to get involved or to at least be interested,” Christenson said. “The other part of it is that it’s an opportunity for students to express themselves.”

During the debate, the lively crowd

laughed from time to time at the exchange between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, especially when Trump called Clinton a puppet and a “nasty woman.”

Nicholas Fuentes, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, said Trump was the winner because his strengths rang through in this debate.

“This was the first debate where the moderator was truly unbiased and committed to talking about substantive issues,” Funtes said. “It allowed Trump to shine through with some serious policy proposals and the dynamic energy that his campaign will bring to the White House. It also emphasized the robotic and very calculated approach of Clinton.”

Ashley Stern, a senior in the Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, said it’s clear Clinton should be the next president.

“She has experience as a politician, she’s been in the field, her resume is incredible and she’s done a lot,” Stern said. “I think it’s a joke that Trump is running for president.”

“Fascinating” debate viewing at BU Central

BY SOPHIA BROWN DAILY FREE PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

Patriotic bunting, selfie props and lifesize cardboard cutouts of the presidential hopefuls filled Boston University Central Wednesday evening, as the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground, along with the BU chapters of Brothers United and Omega Psi Phi, hosted a viewing party for the final presidential debate.

Wezi-Anne McCarthy, an organizer of the party and a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said the purpose of the event was to raise students’ awareness and involvement in the election.

“This might be the most fascinating election we’ve had, and I don’t mean that in a good way,” McCarthy said. “Having your peers around you promotes a sense of camaraderie and makes you realize that there are

other people [and] students out there like you.”

Approximately 100 students entered BU Central before the debate started. They quickly filled the room and started talking about what they expected from the debate.

Lexi Davis, a freshman in the College of General Studies, said before the debate that she attended because she likes viewing these debates around friends and other students interested in politics.

“It’s important to be surrounded by other people who are watching [and] hear other opinions,” Davis said.

Once the debate started, students watched quietly, at least for the most part — some broke the silence when Donald Trump suggested Hillary Clinton return the Clinton Foundation’s money that came from anti-LGBT countries. Several students in the room murmured, agreeing with Trump’s comment.

Debate, bingo at Newbury St. restaurant

BY ABIGAIL FREEMAN DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

Blue and red bingo cards sat on top of dining tables at Trident Booksellers and Cafe, with boxes reading “Locker-room talk,” “NATO,” “Crooked Hillary” and similar common phrases from this presidential campaign. More than 60 people attentively watched the final presidential debate, only looking away from the television to check their social media feeds.

One attendee, Erin Carey, 37, of Dorchester, said she went to Trident to experience watching the tumultuous debate with others in person, rather than reading posts from Facebook friends online.

“I wanted to be in a social place to experience this with other people because it’s such an emotional experience and I don’t want to just be on Facebook with my friends again,” Carey said. “I just wanted to be on a place where I could hear other people react to it.”

Mackenzie Van Engelenhoven, a Trident event organizer, said the debate was one example of how Trident serves as a ven-

ue for open discussion within the Boston community.

“We’re in a very unique space that we’re a bookstore but we also have this great restaurant and this great meeting place. So we want this to be a community space,” Van Engelenhoven said. “We want people to be able to come here and feel like they can engage in arts, culture, and politics and all sorts of different things.”

Laughter rang through the second floor dining area following Republican nominee Donald Trump’s “bad hombres” comment, and loud clapping followed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s review of her political experience. Many Trident guests were not ashamed to vocalize their feelings for the candidates throughout the debate.

Despite the open atmosphere of the viewing party, Claire Cerda, 24, of Brookline, said she felt she had to react more cautiously while watching the debate in Trident compared to how she would react in the comfort of her home.

“It’s hard to sit in a public space and be mindful of other people’s thoughts and opinions, especially having to do with politics because it’s so personal,” she said.

BU professors sport long history of studying Bob Dylan

BY SHANNON LARSON DAILY FREE PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

Long before the Swedish Academy awarded Bob Dylan with the Nobel Prize in Literature, scholars at Boston University, especially Editorial Institute professor Christopher Ricks, had been studying and teaching Dylan’s work through the lens of poetry.

Ricks said his interest in Dylan started in 1968, after he listened to Dylan’s song, “Desolation Row.” Dylan’s voice, along with the words he wrote and performed, made music into literature, Ricks said.

“If you think of literature as the wonderfully effective use of words to remind us of good old things, to show us wonderful new things, to show us how much in life is explainable, and to show us how much of life is not explainable at all,” Ricks said. “Then if you have this very high view of what literature and words can do, there is nobody who uses words better than [Dylan] does.”

Previous leaders of the university further motivated Rick’s drive to pursue the study of Dylan’s music, applauding his efforts and taking a keen interest in the his work, Ricks said. Through the encouragement of former BU presidents John Silber and Jon Westling, the professor’s passion

for understanding Dylan’s work on a deeper level was continuously fostered, Ricks said.

“My relation to Dylan’s art is terrifically bound up with BU,” he said. “People who cared about BU and ran it in those days cared what some of the faculty wrote.

Jon Westling was a president who believed in cultural occasions that were also social and intellectual occasions.”

Westling wrote in an email that he supported Ricks’ research because of how dedicated the professor was to Dylan’s artistry.

“The fact that Ricks, one of the best readers ever of English poetry, regarded Dylan so highly did influence my decision to bring Dylan to the university,” Westling wrote. “I hope that Dylan recognizes just how fortunate he is that his work has met in professor Ricks a critic fully capable of understanding and explaining its subtlety and power.”

Dylan performed at BU on Nov. 10, 2000 to more than 4,500 students.

Ricks’ thoughts regarding the intersectionality between Dylan’s music and literature finally came to fruition in 2005, when he wrote “Dylan’s Vision of Sin.” “The book does take him very seriously as an artist, takes his words very seriously, and thinks that his words illuminate Milton, Shakespeare, Keats and Elliot’s words,” Ricks said.

Other faculty members took interest in Dylan’s work — Kevin Barents, a lecturer in the Arts and Sciences Writing Program, taught the course “Music and Poetry of Bob Dylan” with College of Fine Arts professor Jeremy Yudkin.

Barents said he was inspired to teach a class on Dylan after reading Ricks’ work.

“I first decided to propose an academic course on Dylan’s lyrics after reading Ricks’ ‘Dylan’s Visions of Sin,’” Barents said. “Ricks in particular is able to bring to bear on Dylan’s lyrics a lifetime of deep familiarity with the literary, historical and cultural ‘touchstones’ of our world, touchstones that Dylan alludes to and makes use of as much as any poet or novelist does.”

Yudkin said he views the songwriting accomplishments of Dylan on a similar level as Ricks does, especially the musician’s skill with words.

“There is no other songwriter who has achieved anything remotely like the quality of [Dylan’s] creative achievement,” Yudkin said. “Every great writer and every great songwriter borrows; this one has made songs from which everyone will borrow for generations.

He is an American original.”

Several students said they were glad to see some BU professors linked Dylan’s work to literature. Some even said Ricks’ study was why Dylan won the Nobel

Prize in Literature.

John D’Alessandro, a senior in the Questrom School of Business, said music can affect all individuals in a variety of ways. “[Ricks] is very right when he says that music can be a form of literature because it can speak to anybody and definitely has a lot of meaning behind it,” D’Alessandro said.

Madison Norman, a sophomore in Questrom, said she is glad Dylan’s work was beyond recognized beyond the realm of music.

“It’s good that someone came out and made a comment because musicians at times really do work hard on their song lyrics, so it can

be considered literature,” Norman said. “Although this is the first time [that a musician is recognized for literature values], maybe this is going to be a start of a new trend.”

Eric Chang, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said he supports the work of Ricks, and said he believes the professor’s argument may have helped Dylan win the Nobel Prize in Literature. “[Ricks] is right because, with a lot of songs, they are sort of telling a story about what the artist is thinking at the time, Chang said, “so it could be seen as a form of literature rather than just a song.”

Biden hopes to see completion of Moonshot BIDEN, FROM PAGE 1

speak,especially about the important topic of the Cancer Moonshot.

Deanna Klima-Rajchel, a junior in the Boston University College of Communication, said she has heard many politicians speak, but hearing from the vice president was be the most memorable. “[He’s] the vice president of the whole United States we’re talking about, so this is as big as it gets for me,” she said.

The vice president, whose son Beau Biden died of brain cancer in May 2015, gave an emotional speech describing the efforts and the progress of the task force thus far.

“At its core, the Cancer Moonshot is about two things; first is the injecting urgency … Second, it’s changing the system and culture of medicine that existed in 1971 to accommodate the immense opportunity that exists in 2016,” he said.

Biden said technological ad-

vancements have made it possible for innovation in cancer research and treatment today.

“We now have an army; powerful new technologies and tools,” Biden said. “With this Moonshot, I believe we have a clear strategy on how to move ahead.”

One new technology he mentioned during his speech are blood biopsies, which would make it easier for scientists and doctors to detect slow growing cancers, such as colon cancer.

He said the Obama-Biden administration is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to accelerate the pace at which cancer patients can participate in clinical trials.

Biden said he made a report to the president this past Monday about the progress of the Cancer Moonshot Task Force.

“These reports to the American people share a spirit of the American people,” he said. “They

give me every confidence that we’re on the cusp of enormous progress.”

Biden concluded by stating that he is confident in the American people to help the Cancer Moonshot become a success.

Biden said he has one regret: not running for president this year.

“I would not be the president to preside over the end of cancer as we know it,” he said. “… The one thing I know, this country has the capacity to do anything, I mean anything it sets its mind to.”

Attendees said they admired Biden for showing emotion during his speech, while talking about such an important topic.

Janet Vrettos, 54, of Durham, New Hampshire, whose husband is a survivor of lung cancer, said she was confident in Biden’s ability to improve cancer research and care.

“He’s a great person and I’m glad he’s doing it,” she said. “If anyone can get it done, he will.”

Jessica Alba on being more than the face of a company

BY NATASHA MASCARENHAS DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

It took Jessica Alba, a mother, actress and the founder of The Honest Company, some time to be looked at as more than a “girl in a bikini in the movies,” she said.

Alba found herself walking the bridge between stardom and business when she walked into a room of investors.

Six years after founding the company, Alba sits in the seat of a company recently valued at $1.7 billion, helping mothers and fathers and provide toxin-free products such as diapers, safe wipes and organic infant formula.

The 35-year-old urged a roomful of entrepreneurs in Faneuil Hall on Monday to embrace all the personal and professional challenges that come with starting a company, during her panel at the Forbes Under 30 Summit.

“I don’t allow it to matter as much,” Alba said on early pushbacks. “I’ve been able to own my power and take the position that I feel is rightfully mine.”

She described this shift of perspective, however, as “baby steps.”

The Honest Company sells nontoxic household and baby essentials, with the “mission to build

healthier, safer families,” according to their website. During the talk, Alba mentioned that she wanted to make the products accessible and stylish to appeal to parents, the “most efficient workers” she’s ever met, she said.

While the founder gushed over the mention of a “certified organic tampon with a bio-based

plastic applicator,” Alba explained her real passion for safe products began when she thought about her own past, and her daughter’s future.

“I had chronic asthma and allergies, I had multiple surgeries ... complications,” Alba said. “So I spent a lot of my time in hospitals and hospital beds dreaming about

really, anywhere else and anyone else.”

When Alba became pregnant with Honor, now 8, she experienced an outbreak of hives from detergent, she said. Alba explained that this set off anxiety and nervousness about her daughter coming into contact with toxins, and getting as sick as she once did.

By 2011, she was inspired to bring more transparency to household items.

At the summit, Alba was also asked to respond to the lawsuits her company recently faced. In February, a couple filed a lawsuit that some Honest products were mislabeled and had synthetic and toxic chemicals. Most recently, the Organic Consumers Association filed a lawsuit in California claiming that the company mislabeled baby formula as “organic.”

While at first Alba hinted at overreaching media and headlines, she later added that the allegations created a new opportunity for the company.

“It keeps us more committed to our mission. It keeps us more focused,” Alba said. “I think for any entrepreneur out there, when you’re faced with challenges, you can’t let them define you.”

Toward the end, she spoke to the stigma around successful women.

“When I was five, I was a self-proclaimed feminist,” she said, thanking her mom and grandmother for the way she was raised.

She urged the room to be supportive of women in the workplace, CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Entrepreneurs discuss career experiences with gender-based adversity

BY KAITLYN LOCKE DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

We’ve all heard the age-old, sexist trope: “Can women really have it all?”

At a panel at the Forbes Under 30 Summit Monday, four highly successful entrepreneurs — who just so happen to be women — answered the question for good: yes, obviously.

The panelists, sitting on a stage at Faneuil Hall in front of about 100 attendees, spent 30 minutes answering questions asked by moderator Janey Whiteside, senior vice president and general manager of American Express Global Charge Products and Benefits.

During the forum, titled “Entrepreneurship: Gender, Adversity and Success,” the businesswomen discussed experiences they’d had with gender-based unfairness they’d felt throughout their careers, and how their feelings on the matter has changed as they’ve accumulated more success.

“I actually grew up thinking I lived in a post-feminist world,” said panelist Hayley Bay Barna, co-founder of Birchbox, a company that mails subscribers monthly beauty boxes, and a venture partner at First Round Capital.

Barna explained that even while going through Harvard University and beginning a career in the corporate world, she “literally saw no impediments in [her] way based on [her] gender.” She began to really

notice the gender inequality when founding her company, she said.

“It sort of really hit me when my co-founder and I decided to start Birchbox,” Barna said. “We were suddenly in rooms where there weren’t other people who looked like us. And that was just a really big surprise — I didn’t see why that would be that way.”

Barna described that, ironically, because investors weren’t able to personally identify with her business — which mainly targets a female demographic — they would call their wives and ask their secretaries to give their opinions on Birchbox.

Jennifer Hyman, co-founder and CEO of Rent the Runway, said she feels “gender less than [she] did at the very beginning” of her career, though “the bias that exists around female leadership, and the diversity of female leadership” is still an issue of concern for her.

“People feel more comfortable working for a man in many cases — and this is women and men feel more comfortable,” Hyman said. “We feel more comfortable with men being aggressive, with men being assertive, with men having a crazy vision with no idea of how you’re going to get from A to B. And with women, often

we need her to back it up. She needs to have 10 spreadsheets behind her that validate that vision.”

Marcela Sapone, co-founder and CEO of the “personal butler” company Hello Alfred, agreed. She added that hard work often makes for a rewarding end result.

“I think women have to do more work,” Sapone said. She later said, “But doing hard work means that over time, you have more confidence and more conviction. And so, these small measures of humility … means that later on, when you make it through the race … you’re going to have something very special in the end.”

Hyman said she hopes to see major changes in this bias in the next five to 10 years. Barna added that there are also added benefits to being a woman entrepreneur, such as being able to identify with and listen to female consumers in a constructive way, and the strengths that come from feeling comfortable with vulnerability and being emotional as a leader.

Sapone pointed out that her personal success — and the other panelists’ success — as entrepreneurs, are correlated to the hard work of businesswomen who have come before them, and said that this contributes to gender becoming less of an issue in the workplace.

“There’s this chain reaction of inspiration where these women actually have to beat down the door a little bit harder than I did,” Sapone said. She later said, “I think what’s

interesting is, at least I, and I think other female founders today, don’t bring being a female to the table. You don’t want to start by discriminating yourself.”

Kelly Howard, the president and CEO of Dynamic Biological Systems, said that as a female leader in a male-dominated industry, she found the businesswomen’s advice inspiring.

“Every [one] of my advisors is male, and they’re telling me to approach this like a man — have a pitch deck — because that’s what worked for them,” Howard said. “And I didn’t realize until today, that as a woman … that their advice might not work.”

Hyman brought the panel’s discussion topic to an even higher level.

“We’re at a period of time right now in this election where female leadership is more on the mainstage than ever before,” Hyman said. “And I could talk about subtle biases that exist for me … but what we’re talking about in terms of the overt bias that exists every single day about one of the most qualified women ever running for a position of power says a lot about who we are.”

Hyman was immediately cut off by an eruption of loud clapping and cheers of support by audience members.

“I encourage you to think about … how we could actually be actively supporting other women, and that it matters,” Hyman said. “It matters not just to our politics, but these are the examples we all live by every single day.”

Forbes Under 30 music festival inspires conversation over beats

BY NATASHA MASCARENHAS DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

Boston City Hall Plaza was transformed into quite the unconventional venue on Sunday, bringing together over 1,000 entrepreneurs, CEOs and students for the 2016 Forbes Under 30 Music Festival.

The summit celebrates top professionals in fields such as consumer tech, finance and food and drink. The music artists in the festival represented the same type of diversity of the honorees, as acts such as Delta Rae and Jason Derulo shared the same lineup.

The North Carolina-based folk band Delta Rae started slow with “Out of the Badlands,” a song they’ve only played live and is not on either of their two albums. The true thrill of the performance was achieved by the breathtaking voice of band member Brittany Hölljes in “Bottom of the River,” one of the group’s well-known singles.

The song combined chains, steel cans and drumsticks, highlighting the band’s rough-around-the-edges harmonies that matched the summit’s theme of innovation and creativity.

Most notably, the six-person group was the only act of the night to bring current events to the stage.

“This song is about the 2016 presidential election,” said lead singer Eric Hölljes, Brittany’s brother. The crowd laughed. “It’s called ‘Scared.’”

They also sang a song written about ending racial justice, “All Good People.”

An overarching theme throughout the concert seemed to be appealing directly to the diverse interest of millennials, with appearances of top

entrepreneurs such as Jim Koch, the founder of Samuel Adams beer, who told the crowd to embrace personal revolutions, and be an “enabler” for risks.

A major risk taker during the concert was opener Gallant, whose vocal delivery was a mix of poetic and galactic. His characteristic falsetto in “Weight in Gold” shifted the mood, as the sun set to create a dim atmosphere, matching the purple haze and blue lights on the stage.

The stand-out in Gallant’s performance was most definitely his electric vocals. His fast-paced dance moves, however, became a point of conversation. Moving from crouching position to an empowered superman pose, the Maryland-born artist often sprawled his arms and body back and forth, whisking a black towel as his prop.

In fact, it seemed as if Gallant’s possessive, galactic moves united an otherwise starkly different crowd.

During the concert, a VIP section closed off the 30 Under 30 honorees from the rest of the concert.

While at first the divide remained, many laughs were shared as VCs and students reacted to the interactive performance. As the night progressed, the fencing was less and less visible as people filled up the gaps.

Glasses of Samuel Adams Millennium ale, a Boston Beer Company special, were shared.

Halsey brought a living-room set to the plaza, with a stripped-down acoustic performance of her classics such as “New Americana” and “Closer.” She referenced Boston as the first place “New Americana” truly had success. “[It’s about] working hard, no

The Forbes Under 30 Summit opened Sunday with a concert featuring Jason Derulo, Halsey, Gallant and Delta Rae at Boston City Hall Plaza.

matter how small you feel, not letting anyone hold you down,” said the 22-year-old singer, a glass of red wine in hand.

Finally, in the most eclectic performance of the night, was Jason Derulo, beginning his set in a diamond-studded leather jacket and four scantily-dressed back-up dancers by his side.

His well-known dance moves added a new dimension to the otherwise subdued concert, and undoubtedly brought the highest amount of energy to the venue. The bopping

heads soon turned into flippant jumps.

His flashiest pieces included the opener, “Trumpets,” as well as “Wiggle” and “Ridin’ Solo,” all of which featured smoke bursts and lunging dancers.

Derulo, who was on the 30 Under 30 Class of 2016 list under the music category, put out an album in May of 2015, titled “Everything Is 4.”

He referenced the album in between performances with an engaging video that featured a montage of his interviews, concerts and time in the spot-

light.

As Derulo ended the night, his pulsating and seductive performance garnered twirls atop networking picnic tables and claps from advertisers in the back.

And as the stage dimmed, all of a sudden the mohawks and Hermes belts were barely recognizable.

Instead, there seemed to be a new defining characteristic of the venue.

There was a different kind of networking that happened on Sunday — one over music, and one no elevator pitch could describe.

Some in the crowd on Monday said they were surprised with Alba’s story.

Nineteen-year-old Ocean Pleasant, a 30 Under 30 honoree at

the summit for her work as CEO of Real, a platform for social activism, explained she was surprised at Alba’s words.

“She went to lobby against toxic chemicals,” Pleasant said. “She literally went and tried to reform a Toxic Substances Control Act from 1976. I didn’t know she did due dil-

igence, so that was really great to hear.”

Megan Grassell, the founder and CEO of Yellowberry, a company that focuses on making comfortable and seamless bras to ease a girl’s transition into wearing a bra, said she attended the talk with little knowledge of Alba’s company.

Grassell, also an honoree, said she was interested to hear more about Alba’s background in business and commitment to the cause.

“She’s so much more than a face of the brand,” Grassel said.

“And as millennials, I guess we’re all obsessed with branding, but after this talk I got to hear about how I

can really vote with my dollar.”

To the room of entrepreneurs, established and hopefuls, Alba left them with one last piece of advice.

“You have to walk in with your end goal in mind, and make sure you are relentless until you walk out of that room,” Alba said. “[Make sure] whoever you’re talking to … gets it.”

Tech CEO Brian Wong gives “cheat code” advice to entrepreneurs

BY KAITLYN LOCKE DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

When a multimillion dollar mobile advertising company is founded by a 19-year-old, the world pays attention. When said entrepreneur goes on to amass great success for himself and recognition for his work, he writes a book, so those even decades older than him can get a glimpse into the mind of an extremely successful businessman.

Brian Wong, now 25, is the founder and CEO of Kiip — and a gamer at heart, he confessed during his panel at the Forbes Under 30 Summit on Monday. Wong, clad in a gray collared T-shirt and holding his iPhone, stood in front of hundreds of Forbes attendees at the Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, named the “Tech Stage” for the summit. The audience members, most of whom were between 20 and 45 years old, sat at attention, ready to listen to any advice he might have to offer.

Wong spent half of his 15-minute-long panel describing his upbringing in Canada as the son of two Hong Kong immigrants, as well as how he found the inspiration for Kiip. His technology and gamer-based mentality, he said, drove him to write his book, called “The Cheat Code,” using the metaphor of the gaming cheat codes he used while playing.

“It’s not designed as a cheat

through life,” Wong said during the panel. “It’s designed to be a nod towards the cheat codes we use in playing games.”

One “cheat code” Wong described was the importance of “knowing your superpower.” To Wong, this means having the self-awareness to recognize what one’s core skills are, and being able to harness and channel them into work.

“This is one of my favorites,” Wong said. “And what do I mean by ‘know your superpower’? There’s a point in your adulthood where you stop trying to focus on fixing your weaknesses, and you put all your energy and resources into your strength.”

Wong was calm, confident and often made lighthearted jokes on stage; he made an effort to keep the crowd engaged, and received multiple laughs and cheers throughout his panel. At one point, he asked how many attendees were entrepreneurs in the tech industry. Over 100 hands shot up as thunderous applause filled the theater.

Wong’s self-appointed “superpower” didn’t come as a surprise.

“My superpower is I’m really good at getting people super excited about s—t,” he said. Wong went on to describe that a “superpower” didn’t necessarily come from one’s line of work, but rather skills that came along with what one does for

fun. Superpowers, he said, are discovered when you look back on a set of tasks or a hobby that “seemed effortless, and wasn’t a chore.”

Blake Reagan, a junior studying computer information systems at Texas State University, said he identified with the idea of looking into your passions to find your greatest skill sets.

“Whatever it is that you are really, really into, that’s what you need to do — not necessarily what you think that you should be doing,” Reagan said.

He said this realization influenced him to change his major. “I took this computer class, and I could just sit there for hours without, honestly, being bored. And I was like, you know what, I’d kind of rather just do this.”

Wong, who earlier in the panel mentioned that he is frequently asked how his age affects his ability to raise money and be taken seriously, later listed another “cheat code”: don’t treat investors “like God.” He said investors are just fellow businesspeople with obligations and people depending on them too, and that it isn’t necessarily a good idea to change a business model according to just one investor’s feedback.

Jack Tang, the co-founder and CEO of Urban Massage and a 30 Under 30 honoree at the summit, said his UK-based business has raised “about

$10 million so far,” and that he agreed with Wong’s point of not allowing investors to sway a company.

“I never treat them like God,” Tang said. “It’s exactly the same — they raise their own funds … One of the secrets, for sure, is not treating investors like what they say is gospel.”

Wong returned to his roots and his appreciation for his parents for his final “cheat code”: gratitude. His parents, an accountant and a nurse, were so poor in Hong Kong, he said, that they didn’t know tomatoes were red until they moved to the United

States — before then, they couldn’t afford to wait until the fruit ripened before eating.

He joked that “the key to everything you want in life” was to read “The Cheat Code,” but gave sound advice.

“What if there were cheat codes in real life where you could design things?” Wong said. “What if we could be able to effortlessly tweak a few things … to potentially be more successful or to get yourself more success? And that’s the whole objective of that book.”

“Make America Say It Again” was well-intended but poorly executed Pushing open a restroom door, a quote is emblazoned on its surface. Walking past Boston University’s Law Building’s lobby, white lettering contrasts the glassy exterior. Beneath all of these quotes, a slogan of “Make America Say It Again” is present.

Quotes spoken by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump were concentrated around BU’s central campus; first plastered around campus on Saturday, students expressed shock at the represented messages.

In a Tab article, the artist, who chose to remain anonymous, stated his or her intentions were to highlight the ridiculous nature of our potential president’s statements.

“Through using the power of design, it takes direct quotes that Trump has said and positions them in places around Boston University that further how immoral, racist and just plain absurd they are,” the artist said in the article.

The pieces posted around campus include sayings like, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” and “You never get to the face because the body’s so good.”

Trump’s words are haunting to say the least, and to see them posted publicly is jarring. In this regard, the artist achieved his or her intention. The words are powerful and impactful, jolting a passerby from their internal thoughts. The more you read them, the more appalling and absurd the words become.

That being said, the artist failed to properly credit the words to Trump. Certainly, the quotes are from Trump, but the

message was obfuscated. Such powerful and explicit words deserve an equally powerful and explicit call to action. The statements were charged and brash, but only coupled with “Make America Say It Again.” Without context, this statement means nothing and could be easily discounted. If not for The Tab’s interview with the artist, that statement would most likely still mean nothing, despite the seemingly opinionated interview.

words, however, do strip them down to their absolute meaning. Without attaching his name to the words, there are no excuses.

There is no consideration of his background, no consideration of his political beliefs.

There are only words, words that are repulsive to read and even more repulsive to hear.

Another interesting part of the installment is the artist’s choice to remain anonymous, assuming a Banksy-like persona. From a purely strategic perspective, the artist is technically vandalizing university property

and revealing an identity could be compromising. Yet, BU has an impressive security system and officials would have most likely disciplined the artist if they were so keen on doing so. Beyond that, officials also have the right to remove the words from university property if they see it as fit to do so.

As an installation in its entirety, it successfully instigated conversation on campus, but it is somewhat ignorant to think that those conversations were not already happening. In the last few weeks before we take to the polls, these conversations are inevitable, particularly on a politically active college campus. At this point in the campaign, most minds are made in regards to selecting a candidate, and pasting vinyl stickers around campus is not going to drastically impact the student body.

When seeing the stickers, it makes us think of the custodians who inevitably have to scrape them off of the walls and doors and windows.

Why spread hatred and negativity when the option of positivity is another viable and impactful option? “Women’s rights are human rights” would have also caught the eyes of passersby, and instead of inspiring glares, perhaps it would have brought out a smile or two. Furthering positivity in this bleak time seems far more pressing than giving further attention to a buffoon who believes it is justified to objectify women.

Freedom of speech and expression is of course necessary, but it is also necessary to go about it effectively. If you’re going to make a statement, do so clearly, and most importantly, make your statement on Nov. 8.

French stereotypes are wonderfully true

BY jONATHAN HAUSER COLUMNIST

After being in Grenoble for two months, I do have to admit that some French stereotypes really do hold true. My favorite is seeing French people walk down the street holding a baguette in hand for their dinner. According to fellow study abroad student Catherine Wood, “I have literally seen a French person on the tram holding seven baguettes!”

While thoroughly entertaining, I have honestly started doing the same thing myself, buying my daily baguette for dining and then walking back home to my host family. In fact, before writing this column I walked home with two baguettes still warm from the oven.

Why have I adapted this typical French behavior? Because quite simply, French bread is to die for. The baguettes are made fresh at the boulangeries every day, and when you bite into them, the crust is crisp but the inside soft and fluffy like heaven. Also, for about 1.50 euros for a long baguette, I have so much money I can spend on other French foods, such as a brioche, chocolate mousse or crème brûlée ice cream. But most importantly, I can afford to buy a delicious cheese to accompany my bread.

It would be an understatement to say that the stereotype that the French love cheese is true, purely because they take pride in all of their different varieties. According to my host father, Pierre, there are so many different types of French cheeses that you could eat a different type of cheese every night for a year without repeating.

While I know that trying a new type of cheese everyday is unrealistic, I do hope to try as many new cheeses as possible while I have the luxury of being here in Grenoble.

Considering that many of the best cheeses, which are widely available and affordable here, are expensive and hard to find United States, I need to take advantage of the

local cheese vendor at the market close to my house.

For example, a small wheel of Brie cheese that is about 8 ounces costs about 1.7 euros (about $1.90) at my local grocery store, while according to Walmart’s website, an 8-ounce wheel costs $4.48. Unfortunately for the American public, brie is one of only a few French cheeses that can be found across the Atlantic in Star Market.

But regardless, while I am here I can choose from so many options, whether it be Coulommiers (a soft, white cheese made from cow’s’ milk), Roquefort (a blue cheese made from sheep’s milk) or Fromage aux noix (a nut adorned cheese). I hope the cheese vendor is prepared for all the cheese I am going to buy over the course of this semester.

Even more appealing is the fact that these low food prices extend universally here in Grenoble. Everyday for lunch I have a chicken lettuce, and tomato sandwich on about a foot-long fresh baguette as well as a cup of applesauce and a cup of yogurt.

What is the cost of this delicious, nutritious and filling meal? Only 3.20 euros, or about $3.50. Compare that to the cost of a healthy meal at the GSU. Of course, stereotypes are not the best representation of a culture. While I find the French stereotype around bread to be true, there are specific cultural nuances that I found here in the Rhône-Alpes region of France. For example, a type of restaurant called a Bouchon is very popular in the nearby city of Lyon, which, according The Guardian, is the food capital of the world. A boucheron represents Lyonnaise cuisine, which is meat-heavy with food options such as tripe, or cow stomach lining, steak tartare and andouillette, or pork sausage usually made with intestines. While most Americans would not be enticed to try these dishes, they are widely popular here in France and I would implore everyone to at least give it a try. I have to admit, steak tartare is not as bad as it sounds, especially when it is served with au gratin potatoes on the side.

With two months left in this study abroad adventure, I hope to try some more French cuisine, such as frog legs. I will need to relish all of the local dishes I love, such as Brioche St.-Génix, knowing that when I get back to Boston in December I will not be able to grab a warm and delicious demi-baguette for less than a dollar. I may not reach 365 cheeses this semester, but I know I will try as many as possible.

At home and abroad, drug laws vastly vary

BY REVATHI VALLUVAR COLUMNIST

A common question I get when talking to Americans about Singapore regards our laws — yes, it is illegal for you to sell or buy chewing gum in Singapore. But, it is not illegal to consume it, and no one is going to cane you for chewing gum. Come on, people. I understand the idea of caning is archaic for most Americans, but it is not Halloween candy. We do not just hand it out.

Corporal punishment, however, is a reality. Especially our infamous death penalty.

Coming to the United States, especially Massachusetts where marijuana is decriminalized, was a real shock for me because of the stark contrast of how drugs are treated in Singapore.

In Singapore, drug trafficking, importing, exporting and manufacturing drugs are crimes that carry the death penalty. But the death penalty is at the discretion of judges and not meted out every time. With most drug related crimes in Singapore, life imprisonment and caning are the more common punishments. For example, there were no executions between 2012 and 2013, and only two in 2014.

Caning is a lot more common. Caning is usually meted out for more serious crimes.

For example, most drug related cases, sexual abuse cases and illegal money-lending cases are some examples of offenses that one would receive caning for. The number of strokes is at the discretion of the judges who analyze each case on its own merits and compare them with previous precedents. Caning is restricted to only males, and they must be below the age of 50. If a male is sentenced to death, he will not receive any caning on top of that.

You can go to prison in Singapore for just consuming drugs, including marijuana. Even if you are not in Singapore, when you consume it, if you come to Singapore with traces of any controlled substance in your urine, you can still be charged as if you had taken them in Singapore. So yes, we take drugs very seriously.

We are not nearly as intolerant of alcohol.

The legal drinking age in Singapore is 18. Underage drinking is taken very seriously but it is not as rampant to begin with. Realistically if you are caught drinking under the age of 18 in Singapore, you are probably not going to be arrested for it as long as you were not being a public nuisance. More likely than not, they would just call your legal guardians and let you off with a warning.

But as far as I know here, if I am caught drinking underage at a party, it could go on my record, and I could be deported. I could also be prevented from coming back to the states until I am 21 years old or for a certain number of years. That is extremely serious, considering if I was caught with marijuana, I would probably just face a fine depending on the amount.

I would have other ramifications when returning home, but at least I would not be deported and banned from returning to America.

In Singapore, you are allowed to drive, smoke and drink at the age of 18 and vote when you are 21. Here, however, you can drive when you are 16, vote when you are 18 but only drink at 21. I come from an Asian society, which is considered much more conservative.

Imagine my shock when I realized that here in the states, they let you choose your leaders and operate vehicles before they let you purchase alcohol. It didn’t make sense to me when I first learned the fact, and it still doesn’t.

Often, I have been asked how I could stomach the corporal punishments in Singapore. I find that question so offensive. I have been asked this by people who could not even point Singapore out on the map, let alone visit the country. Before asking such questions, it would be wise to consider the high safety levels in Singapore and the lengths we go to keep it that way.

Singapore is in Southeast Asia, surrounded by countries drowning in drugs and crime.

Yet, we consistently rank as the top 10 countries with the lowest crime rates. Ask anyone in Singapore and they will tell you we manage it because of effective policing, extensive technology use and laws and punishments that effectively deter.

You have your priorities and we have ours: Singapore’s is drugs, yours is underage alcohol purchase and consumption. I respect this. Even though I have been drinking legally in Singapore for almost two years now, I do not do it here because I respect that it is the law here. I find it ridiculous on a personal level, but I still respect it. So respect our laws, and the way we choose to punish the ones who flout them. So far, it’s worked out pretty well for us.

No. 13 field hockey back on track with 3 straight wins

BY LIAM O’BRIEN DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

After suffering a four-game losing streak, the No. 13 Boston University field hockey team has rejuvenated itself in significant fashion, riding a dominant defensive effort to three consecutive victories.

Sporting a strong goals-against average that is fourth-best in the country at 1.16, the Terriers’ (10-4, 3-1 Patriot League) defensive intensity has been evident over the past three outings, in which they have relinquished just a single goal.

The team’s approach on this side of the field resulted in dominant shutout efforts over Lehigh University and No. 14 Boston College this past weekend, games in which BU allowed seven combined shots.

The Terriers’ fighting spirit on the defensive end was especially evident against the Mountain Hawks (5-10, 2-3 Patriot League) on Saturday, as Lehigh didn’t register a single corner opportunity, or even a shot, until less than 30 seconds remaining in the contest.

“The biggest things have been defensive organization, communication and playing aggressively,” BU head coach Sally Starr said.

“We are valuing the ball when we have it, and when we don’t have it, we are working really hard to get it back. All 11 people are defensively playing well together. It’s not just our backs or our goalie.”

Jensen shutting down opponents While the Terriers’ stifling defensive approach has certainly made life easier for se-

nior goalkeeper Cammy Jensen, her showings of late have shaped BU into a team that more closely resembles its September counterpart — when it started the year 7-0.

Facing a formidable opponent in the Eagles (7-7) on Sunday, Jensen became the first goalkeeper to shut out against the Eagles thus far in 2016, stopping the only two shots she faced on the afternoon. Her lone save in the second half catapulted that contest into overtime, where BU emerged victorious.

“Jensen did not have to make a lot of saves in the Boston College game, but she did have to make some big saves, some quality saves,” Starr said. “They are an ACC school who plays the top programs in the country, so the fact that we are the first school to hold them scoreless is really a testament to her.”

The Escondido, California native cemented her reputation as a lock-down option in net by keeping the Terriers afloat in a near-upset of No. 2 Duke University on Oct. 2, where she recorded nine saves on 12 shots on goal.

The Terriers will continue to rely on Jensen’s efforts to carry them through the stretch run of the regular season.

Offense rising to the challenge During BU’s recent skid, it only mustered three goals in four games, but its offense has returned to form over the past few weeks.

The Terriers upped the ante in a 2-1 victory over Bucknell University on Oct. 8, firing 13 shots, six of which were on net, and the momentum carried over into their performance against the Mountain Hawks.

With a furious offensive attacking style,

the Terriers registered 24 shots on the Lehigh defense, and 12 on net.

Senior forward Amanda Cassera continued to set the tone for BU, scoring the goahead goal with just over one minute remaining in the first half before adding to her tally with another score late in the second half.

The two goals increased Cassera’s total to a team-high eight, emphasizing her ability to take the reins of the team’s offensive attack when necessary. BU is 6-0 in games where the Fairfield, New Jersey native scores, and just 4-4 in contests when she’s goalless.

Additionally, the Terriers’ 10 penalty corner chances against Lehigh provided them with an abundance of opportunities to place

the ball in the net, which they managed to do in at an impressive rate. The team’s fivegoal showing against the Mountain Hawks matched its output from the previous five games combined.

“Valuing possessions, getting the ball to the other side of the field and playing fast [were the offensive keys],” Starr said. “We like to play aggressively and we like to put defenses under pressure. The other thing we did well was getting more quality shots on goal. We are not trying to ‘finesse it’ quite as much.”

The Terriers will look to continue this offensive aggression when they host the College of the Holy Cross on Friday night in the newest installment of the Turnpike Trophy rivalry.

Mary Parker named Hockey East Player of the Week

BY JACOB GURVIS DAILY FREE PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

During the Boston University women’s hockey team’s trip to Pennsylvania State University last weekend, graduate student forward Mary Parker showed her teammates, opponents and the whole division how it’s done.

The Milton native scored the team’s first goal in Friday’s 3-3 tie and posted five points to lead the Terriers (3-2-1, 2-2-0 Hockey East) to a 7-2 win on Saturday with a hat trick and two assists.

Parker’s play did not go unnoticed; on Monday she was named the Hockey East Player of the Week, along with senior Jonna Curtis of the University of New Hampshire.

She wasn’t done, though, as with another goal on Tuesday night against Northeastern University, she celebrated her 100th career point.

“She’s got a great shot, a real quick release offensively,” BU head coach Brian Durocher said. “She has had a nice start all the way through. Everything went her way this weekend. She can execute. We’re lucky have her on board.”

Durocher also described Parker’s prior college hockey experience as a great asset.

Parker played three full seasons at Harvard University, leading the Crimson in scoring during the 2014-15 season and leading the team to the 2015 national title game.

“She’s a very experienced college hockey player,” Durocher said. “She comes in a lot more relaxed than most people in a new program.”

As the oldest member on the team, Durocher said Parker has a very distinctive demea-

Graduate student forward Mary Parker scored her 100th career point on Tuesday.

nor, highlighting her role as a quiet leader.

“She gives the team another established, accomplished player,” Durocher said. “She’ll show our young kids the way to do things.”

Concerning trend, or mere coincidence?

Going into Tuesday night’s contest against the Huskies (4-2-1, 1-0 Hockey East), a closer examination of the Terriers’ first five contests of the season — six including the preseason exhibition game against Whitby Junior Wolves — offered a significant trend.

In all its wins, BU won by at least three goals: 5-2, 5-1, 7-2, and the 6-0 exhibition victory. In close games, the Terriers lost 3-2 and

tied 3-3.

Is this early-season trend possibly an indicator of an inability to win close games, or is it just a statistical anomaly? Durocher is of the opinion that it’s most likely the latter.

“I think it’s a real early-season coincidence,” he said. “The two games we didn’t come up with wins, our compete level was middle-of-the-road. We weren’t ready to do some of the dirty work that’s needed to play well.”

Though Tuesday’s 6-2 loss at the hands of the Huskies was out of reach early, Durocher said the key to winning, whether it be a grindit-out game or not, is defense.

“We need to be better defensively in tight games,” he said. “We should be doing things that frustrate and make the other team work hard defensively. We wanted it to come too easy in some games.”

Young team learning the ropes With eight newcomers and six freshmen, this 2016-17 Terriers group looks quite different than the team that skated on Walter Brown Arena’s ice last season.

According to Durocher, this is a particularly big crop of newcomers: all are experienced skaters, one of the eight is Parker and another is former national champion Nina Rodgers, a junior forward.

Regardless of prior hockey experience, the world of college hockey can certainly present a hefty learning curve.

“We’re trying to get those kids caught up to the speed of college hockey,” Durocher said.

“They’re doing a good job.”

Coming out of high school, many athletes are not yet accustomed to having abundant time to practice and improve the various facets of their game. Now that these players have been integrated into BU’s prestigious hockey program, it’s only a matter of time before they are completely comfortable.

For new players especially, Durocher stressed the importance of defense.

Less experienced hockey players have a tendency to overthink their defense, which can sometimes cause their offense to suffer. Once the defensive adjustments have been made, Durocher, players can shift their focus to the specific skills they already possess, which have allowed them be successful in the past.

“The sooner we get those kids caught up,” Durocher said, “the better off our program will be.”

Stick to Sports: More changes coming to hockey’s landscape

BY MARISA INGEMI COLUMNIST

A narrative that seems to inch its way into the hockey discussion each year is the ever-growing American presence. That narrative is yet to stall, due to the NCAA’s development as one of the primary paths to professional hockey.

NHL drafts have included an average of 60 or more collegiate players in the last 13 seasons, a giant leap from when it was primarily a Canadian league. In 2000, just 20 percent of the league had formerly played in college; by 2014, it was 31 percent, an all-time high.

Junior hockey in Canada opened its doors to European players, cutting down icetime and slowing down the development of several Canadian players. The collegiate level

team struggle, such as developing its goaltenders. If European talent continues to flock to the US to play collegiately, that could also begin to affect the number of American players in the NHL. It could be fair to assume that American hockey is at an all-time high as far as talent goes, as evidenced by Team USA’s skill at the third installment of the World Cup of Hockey in September. Though the team had an early exit, the Americans left a lot of talent at home and competed without some of its top scorers.

This shift may just be the beginning of some of the changes the NHL may face in the coming years. The American population in the NHL is up, but could that recede if many Europeans continue to play? What about Canadians? Is playing in the NCAA also an option for them with less roster spots available in junior hockey?

It may be a few years before we know these answers, but the landscape is changing, and that’s indisputable. If Canada is any indication, within the decade we could see the USA program change drastically.

The collegiate game is becoming the preferred choice to make it to the NHL, despite the likes of Auston Matthews choosing to bypass college to play in in Europe. The top talent is mostly choosing the NCAA, and that could mean a US influx soon. This might

continues to produce talent that comes from the USHL, US Under-18 Team and other development programs to prepare players for the professional game.

Since 2008, nearly 36 percent of NHL rookies once played collegiately. The list of current NHL stars who played at the NCAA level include BU’s own Jack Eichel, Jonathan Quick, Johnny Gaudreau, Ryan Kesler, David Backes, Jonathan Toews, Zach Parise, and many more.

Yet while American players have seen their NHL prospects soar, players from other countries are seeing the opposite.

More Europeans are playing in Canada than ever before, and they’re playing a quicker style of play. Not only is this taking roster spots away from Canadian players, but Europe is also losing some of its best players.

Additionally, more European athletes are beginning to play at the college level.

Boston University is an example of this with sophomore forwards Oskar Andren and Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson coming from Sweden. North Dakota University and the American International College have also received an influx of European talent.

European talent began to infiltrate professional hockey in the 1990s, but has not burst onto the college scene until recently.

This change has already affected Canada, which has seen some aspects of its national

change if Europeans continue to vie for roster spots, though.

One way or another, the talent in professional hockey is only getting better, and it doesn’t really matter where it comes from. As fans, all we should care about at the end of the day is the on-ice product.

Women’s soccer trumps Holy Cross in Turnpike Trophy series

BY RYAN STOLZ DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

In the first showing of the year’s Turnpike Trophy series, the Boston University women’s soccer team bested the College of the Holy Cross 3-1 on Wednesday night in Worcester.

While the Terriers (6-10-1, 6-1 Patriot League) continue to impressively move on from their unprecedented September woes, the Crusaders (2-11-2, 1-4-2 Patriot League) are still struggling to dig themselves out of the bottom two spots in league play. Holy Cross finds itself at the bottom of the Patriot League standings alongside American University.

The matchup, between two foes separated by a mere 47 miles, is the eighth between the two teams. With Wednesday night’s victory, BU now owns a 7-1-0 all-time record against the Crusaders.

For BU coach Nancy Feldman, a familiar face was coaching Holy Cross — former BU defender and associate head coach, Casey Brown.

Feldman drew similarities between Brown’s coaching style and her own, particularly on defense. This is predictable, given that Brown was a three-time Defender of the Year at BU when the Terriers were still a part of the America East Conference.

“It was certainly a little difficult,” Feldman said. “We wanted to play our best game, but we love and care about her so much that we wanted them to play their best game as well.”

More than anything, Feldman appreciates the work her protégé has dedicated to the

Sophomore defender Chelsea Churchill tied her goal total from last year Wednesday.

sport.

“I’m very proud of Casey,” Feldman said.

“She works really hard and has committed herself to being a great coach.”

After an opening 36 minutes in which both teams combined for 11 shots, four of which were on target, a breakthrough occurred one minute later.

Behind strong play in the box from sophomore defender Chelsea Churchill, the Carlsbad, California native sent one from deep in the box and found the upper 90 to give BU a

1-0 lead in the 37th minute.

This marked Churchill’s first goal of the season, but she wasn’t done there.

Five minutes later, Churchill found herself in a similar circumstance and was able to add to her career night by tallying her second goal of the game and equaling her scoring production from last season.

The second half saw much of the same aggressiveness from the Terriers as they capitalized on several Crusader miscues.

In the 57th minute, junior midfielder Jes-

se Shreck took an errant Holy Cross pass and put it in the back of the net for her third goal of the season and her eighth point in the last six games.

The insurance goal, which put the Terriers up 3-0, brought the upperclassman even with sophomore forward McKenna Doyle as the team’s leaders in goals (three) and points (eight).

After scoring a mere two goals in its opening 10 contests, BU has now recorded at least two goals in each of its last four matches.

The Terriers’ chance at a shutout victory ended when Crusaders defender Allie Neumann salvaged a goal by sliding it through BU junior goalkeeper Hannah Ciolek at the 84-minute mark to cut the deficit to 3-1.

“You can already see the effects [Coach Brown] has had on the program,” Feldman said. “Those girls play hard for her.”

In net, Feldman stuck with her familiar strategy of splitting time between senior Bridget Conway and Ciolek.

Playing the first 45 minutes, Conway made two saves and conceded no goals for the seventh straight game, while Ciolek made one save and allowed in the lone Neumann strike in the second half.

The Terriers have two games left in Patriot League play, with their next contest on Saturday vs. the United States Military Academy.

BU is fighting for a chance to secure the No. 1 seed in the Patriot League Tournament over rival Bucknell University, which stands undefeated atop the conference standings.
